Scarcity ≠ Reality

READY FOR A RIGHTEOUS FACT-SMACK?

Right now, as you’re reading these words . . .

:: There are 6.8+ billion people on earth.
:: There are 182 million websites on the Internet.
:: There are 300 – 500 jobs being posted on Twitter.
(And there’ll be 300 – 500 more, one minute from now.)
:: There are 1,190,572+ open positions waiting to be filled.
:: There are $48+ trillion dollars flying around the world economy.

Money is money. Energy is energy. It’s sensible to be frugal. But coupon-clipping your way through life is ultimately a pyrrhic victory.

When you stuff yourself into a stingy, fearful mental panic-room, your soul spins its wheels —
and you repel affluence like an inverted magnet.

Regardless of the economic climate, there are stupendous numbers of opportunities.
There is — always has been, always will be — ravenous room for top talent, in every industry.

If you are diligent, focused, respectful and gracious, you cannot help but lock down work. Lots of work. Too much work. So much, you’ll need an intern. Or a clone.

There IS enough.
There is MORE than enough.
The vastness and volume of . . .
Grade-A opportunities & affordable apartments & available soulmates & accessible dream jobs
. . . is astounding.

Adjust your reality accordingly.

    word.

  2. Agreed, though I think it’s more than simply adjusting your reality…it’s putting yourself into full-on self-training mode that:
    -Acting busy will make you busy
    -You MUST be the first to give (in order to, of course, receive)
    -It’s about “showing” rather than a “telling”
    When you’re able to re-train your brain and outlook, it’s easier to see the opportunities that abound…and honestly at that point, you won’t need to see them first because they’ll find you.
    Great job, as always! :)
